Peer to Peer solution for LAN over Internet

I need to emulate a LAN between some machines over the internet to play some LAN only games. I remember that there was software that could do this, but don't remember what it was called.

Anyone heard of this, or know of similar solutions that won't require a lot of work? The game is fun, but not fun enough to bother with setting up a VPN server.

The only easy-to-set-up one I can think of is Hamachi: https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi2/

That's the one you meant, isn't it? :)

Really? I can't find such feature on their site, it seems to be more dedicated to remote desktop. I didn't know about it. – Gnoupi – 2010-05-12T09:29:30.973

really. checkout their client, you will get a "vpn" option in it. you can also check their manual at http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_manual.pdf in section 9.3
